Being both a doctor and a frequent-flyer, Dr. Arthur Kreitenberg has had plenty of time on his numerous cross-country flights to observe the inside of the airplane cabin, his fellow passengers, and the flight crews.

Dr. Kreitenberg became curious about standards imposed on the airline industry to provide a sanitary environment for passengers and crew — and was shocked to learn that there are no requirements, or effective options available, to provide a sanitized environment.

This realization was the genesis of the GermFalcon endeavor. The GermFalcon Team has effectively addressed, and solved, the issue of providing a healthier environment for passengers and crews. It’s the Team’s goal to have the GermFalcon become the industry’s standard sanitizing tool — with one device stationed at every passenger gate worldwide!
